totally banger if so

I use codex as well but the limits have become absurd though - end up spending weekly budget in like 2 max 3 days

I’m a generalist engineer with 5+ years of experience taking difficult, ambiguous problems from 0 -> 1. I lead protocol engineering at a Web3 startup but available to join immediately. I’ve worked across distributed systems, networking, backend infrastructure, production reliability, real-time systems, peer-to-peer protocols and technical architecture.

My experience spans backend and distributed systems, protocol design, cloud infrastructure, databases, developer tooling, fullstack product development and also AI native systems such as RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, tool integrated LLMs, vector search and evaluation systems for various side projects which are also in production.

I’m comfortable moving across layers, learning unfamiliar systems quickly and taking ownership from architecture through implementation and production. I work well in early stage environments, but I’m equally comfortable joining established teams, adapting to existing systems and contributing wherever the hardest problems are.

Open to software engineering, backend, distributed systems, protocol engineering, AI native product engineering and founding or early engineering roles.

I've experienced this firsthand and 100% agree.

The more cracked you are in a domain, the more you can squeeze out of an LLM. If you already know what "good" looks like, you can steer it, call out its BS, and iterate way faster than someone who's using it to learn the domain itself.

this seems to be great for like a single page exhibition or something, but reading long form content from something like this, personally I feel this to be not so intuitive

is it the right time to perhaps switch to QwenCode ?

i might end up cancelling claude, anybody else thinking of the same ?

I'm 27, and I genuinely had no idea what had happened in cryptography 25 years ago. This was a really refreshing and insightful read - thanks for sharing.
